Will In no effort has been mndo to fill tlio volunin with narratives of tho lifo savers' horoio exploits, tho book contains several stories simply told which nro interesting nnd may woll be quoted ns illustrations of tho Rolf sacri ficing heroism of theso const guardians. Ono of thn most touching is tho nar rative of tlio death of Koopor Atkins nnd Siirftnt'ii Tnylor nnd Mnyo of tho Peaked Hill Bnr station: "Ou tho morning of Nov. 80, 1890, tho Bloop Trumbull wos discovered by tho pnlrol ou tho inner bnr. Tho Ufa bont was quickly innunod by Kooper Atkins nnd Surfmon Tnylor, Mnyo, Kelly, Youug nnd FUhor and rowed to tho holploss cruft. Tho crew, oxcoptiiiK two, who positively refused nssiHtmico nnd ronininetl on bonrd the vessel, wero snfoly lnudod on shoro. "Tho Ralo continued to increase In fury. The son was miming high, nnd Keeper Atkins, realizing the dnnger that threatened thoso who had refused assistance, again started out with his brave bnnd to snvo thom from whnt Boemed certain death. "The darkness was intouso, nnd in their attempt to get noarer tho sloop tlio lifeboat was caught by a swinging boom nnd capsized. Tho snmo sea that caused this calamity struck tho vessel, nnd sho flonted from tho bar nnd sailed nwny. Tho surfnien clung for awhilo to their overturned boat, but Anally nt tempted to swim to tho shoro as their ouly .banco for life. Hurfinen Young, Kolly nnd Fishor, nppnrontly moro dead thnn alivo, wero rescued by Surf man Colo, who hud romniued ou the beach, nnd they wero cared for by him, whilo oue of tho sloop's crow was sent to tho town for medical aid. "Tho remainder of tho capsized bont's crow, including Kcnpor Atkins nnd SuKinon Tnylor nnd Mnyo, though excoll iiit swimmers, wero fighting for lifo ngniiist fearful odds. Thoir dying cries, mingling with tho shrieking winds, woro soon siloucod, ami thoy Were swt'pt by tlio wnves beyond the ronch of help nnd swallowed by tho mi gry sea, "Engcr, watchful ones patrolled the shoro, Imping, praying that though dead their comrades' bodies might bo recov ered. After many weary hours of watching, as if to make amends for its cruel work, old ocean gave bnok each lifeless form and lnid it gently on the frozen beach. The wholo villago turned oat to do these brave men honor, and when they were carried from the church to their last resting places few eyes were dry. Small moouds of earth and marble slabs now mark the plaous where they sleep. " There are many appliances auxiliary to the prinolpal means employed in tho operations of the service. The life sav ing dress, wbioh has been made familiar to the pnblio through the exploits of Paul Boy ton, has been used with great advantage. At the stranding of schooner In the night on Lake Ontario last year in sea which would not ad mit of the use of the boat a shot line was fired over her with the intention of letting np the lines for the use of the breeches buoy. The sailors hauled the whip line on board, and when the tally board, on wbioh the directions for the method of procedure are printed in Eng lish on one side and in French on the other, was reoeived the captain attempt ed by the light of a lantern to read them. Foiling over them for some time, he at length oontemptnonsly threw the board down on the deck, finding it im possible to make anything of it, having seen only the French side. Not know ing what else to do, therefore, he simply made the line fast, but in such a man ner that it could not be worked from the shore. The surfnien vainly endeav ored to convey the instruction by signs. In the meantime the destruction of the vessel and tho loss of all board seem ed imminent In this dilemma one of the surf men pnt on the life saving dress, and after a gallant straggle saooeeded in hauling himself along the line through the breakers to the vessel, where he re mained and took charge of tho opera tions until all were safely landed. Here is a bright little extract wbioh, as the sonvenlr volume snys, will reenll Blr Edwin LnndBPor's celebrated pic ture, "A Distinguished Member of the Humane Hoeiety:" "At tlio snd tlipnster to tho Btonmship Metropolis on tho coost of North Caro lina, whilo the lifo saving men were en gaged in rescuing the crowd of passen gers thrown Into tho sea by tho break ing tip of tho vessel, a largo Newfound land dog belonging to a gentleman re siding in tho vicinity seemed suddenly to comprehend tho situation, nnd Join ing tho throng of rescuers plunged into tho surf, seized n drowning man nnd drnggetl him saftily ashore.

A MOTH CATCHING PLANT. It Clones Its Jnwn itml Citti'hes Its Victim H III a Vine. A Nuw Zealand correspondent sug gests that tho ravages of certain larvio in Komi) countries might bo greatly ro strated by tlio introduction of tlio Now Zealand moth catching plant, Arnugin alliens. This plant, which is a untivo of Btiu.liern Africn, was introduced to New Zealand tmito accidentally nbout seven years ago, nnd sinco then it has been extensively propagated tlieroou ac count of its oll'eetivo servieo as a killer of dcHtructlvo moths. Wherevcf tho climate is mild tbo plant is nn exceedingly freo grower. It twines and climbs with great luxuriance and produces immenso numbers of whito or pinkish flowors, which hnve a very agreeable scent. Theso flowers attract innumerable moths. On a summer even ing n hedgo of nrnugia will be covered by a perfect cloud of moths, and in tho morning there will not be a siuglo flow er that does not imprison ono or two and somotiinos as many ns four insects of various sizes nnd genera. The action of the nrnugia is purely inocbnnicaL The calyx of tho flower is rather deep, and the roccptnelo for its sweet Juices is plnocd nt its baso. Attracted by the pow erful scent nnd the prospect of honey, thn moth dives down tho calyx nnd pro trudes its proboscis to reach tho tempt ing food, but before it can do so the proboscis is nipped between two strong, hard, black pinchers, which guard tbo passage, nnd onco nipped thero is no ts capo for tho moth, which is hold ns in a vise by thn extremoeudof tho probos cis and dies miserably. Tho "rationale" of tho process is not yet explained. Tho proboscis is so very slightly inserted between tho pinchers (ouly nminuto fraction of an inch) that it apparently cannot affect tho genera tivo organs of tlio plant unless those may bo tho pinchers themselves, whoso nctunl contact may bo necessary for re production. Upon dissection tho pinch ers, even in their ordinary position, are invariably found to bo almost in contact, the separating interval being apparent under a strong lens. . It is therefore hard to understand why such n process ns the destruction of a moth should bo necos snry to closo this air'"'" f' "3 gap. But, at all ovouts, tho thing is done, and effectively, and a plant of arnugia ooveriug a space of ten yards in length will destroy as many hundred moths ev ery night, and consoquentlyprevent the ravages of 60 times as many larvn. It is, however, a singular fact that in New Zealand, where the plant basof ten been cultivntod for the express purpose of de stroying the detested oodllng moth, Car pooapsa pomenalla, that wiy insect de clines to enter die trap. THE PARIS COCHER. A Oncer mmI Mketle Relle C the Glided Das of Lonla XT. When, Thoophilus, yon (eel that yon have been run over and abased by this hard, old, wicked world and would like to be an emperor for a few minutes to get even, oome to Paris, nry dear boy, and call to your side one of these whip snapping lords of the pavement, and for francs in shabby glory you oan drive around the streets of the brilliant city and run over people, liken king.

Take it all in, Theophilus, and lean back on your cushions as the women and children scatter before whip and hoofs and be sure to get your American money's worth of that delightful old mediieval feeling of being in a beauti ful oarriage world where pedestrians are born with the right of being knocked down and the privilege of being fined for it The cab is the last touching symbol of royalty Ip Franoe.

Independent, WEIGHT OF BIRD3' HEART3. They Are llearlnr In I'mportloit Tims Tlinne of Anltnslil. Most peoplowill bo surprised to learn that tho hearts of birds nro far hoaviei proportionately thnn tho hearts of nul mals, including man, but n little ex planation will show that this i quite natural. Thn morn tho body works tho greater the tloimiutl upon thn heart, upon which falls thn duty of driving tlio blood through t ho body; hetirotho heart develops and Incomes heavier. Every body knows that birds nro mining the most active nnd hard working of living creatures. Tlio swallow can overtake nn express trnin. Tho falcon will carry n load weighing throo pounds In tlio air without hindrance to Its power of flight or its speed. In short, they have n tre mendous capacity for work. Tlio celebrated ornithologist, Marey, states that u sea gull weighing 1,'fj pounds Is capahlo of performing in one second work equivalent to raising a weight of nine pounds ono yard high. A man weighing l.'IO pounds, to bo equal to tho sen gull, would havo to lift 780 pounds ono yard high III ono second. If a man becomes an athleto or carries heavy loads, his heart grows propor tionately. No wonder, tlrtTeforo, that tho heart h of our iietivo feathered friends nre strikingly heavy its compared with tho bulk of their bodies. Tim nveragu weight of tlio human heart In normal circumstances is tlvo-one-llionsaiulths of tho total weight of tho b.nly. Dr. ( ail Parrot has lately Weighed thn hearts t f various animals mid birds nnd has found the average to bo ns follows, tho figures representing tho ono-thousiindth parts of tho total weight: Pig, 4.Q3; ox, 4.511; sheep, 0.01; horse, 0.81. Tho domestio animals thus come fairly closo to man. Tlio wild roebuck has nn exceedingly heavy heart 11.0. Most birdr, nro n long way ahead of animals. Tlio currier pigeon comes out at 13.35; tho common sparrow, 10.33; the hobby, an extremely aotivo species of falcon, 10. OH, nnd tho song thrush, 35. The heart of the last named is thus fivo times heavier tiian that of man in comparison with thn total woight. Pittsburg Times. Thunderstorm Zones. This subject has been somewhat close ly studiod by Professor Klossovsky, di rector of the observatory atOdossn, who has published a papor on the annual distribution of thunderstorms ovor the globe. His observations show that n high temperature, a certain degroe of humid ity nnd a considerable amount of ruin fall nre tho chief agents favoring the developments of thunderstorms. A col ored map which aoocompauies Profossor Klossovsky's paper shows the nxistouco of a coiio of electric activity of groat in tensity ou both Bides of the equator, nud this is also tho zone of greatest rain fall. Tho zone is divitled into throo sec tions, tho first embracing Asia and Oooauia, Iutlo-Chiim und the Sunda isles to Now Guiuoa. Ovor this cono the yearly averugo of thunderstorms is 00 to 100. The second zone starts from tho west coast of Africa between 5 nnd 10 degrees north latitude and 6 degrees to 10 degrees south latitudo, while the third zono comprises tho tropical regions of Amerioa bctwocn0 degrees and 33 degrees north latitude, where tho moon annual number of storms oxcoods 100. To the north of this zono, which is tormod tho electrio oquntor, tho storms docrenso in number nutil tho deserts of Africa, Egypt, Persia nud control Asia are reached, whoro tho rainfall is scanty and thunderstorms rare. To the north of tho zone of deserts, especially over the continents of Europe and Asia, the electrio activity is somewhat increased. Tho data collected from tho high lati tudes of the southern hemisphere refer principally to the Falkland islands, where the average number of storms is enly f our. A Sara Cue.

These women wear their dresses high in front, showing their yellow legs above the knee, and long behind. They are of deep bin cotton, decorated with flue embroidery and patcbea of yellow and red sewed on in pattern. It is the universal female dress in Hadramut and looks as if the fashion had not changed since the days when Hatarmavetb, the patriarch, settled in this valley and gave it its name (Gene sis x, 88). The tall, tapering straw hat worn by these women when in the fields contributes, with the mask, to make the Hadrami females as externally repulsive aa the most jealous of husband could desire. Nineteenth Ceutury. Napoleon's Mother. Napoleon's mother was a Roman ma tron both in appearance -and by the loftiness of her character. Prosperity had no more dazzled her than bad for tune had oast her down. Her parsimony had been jested about, but her children always found her ready to help them With her private fortune. When the em peror was at St Helena, bis mother tent him a full account of her fortune and begged him to dispose of whatever be longed to her, an offer which Napoleon did not aocept. When somebody pointed out to her, at the time when she thus offered her property to her ton, that she was reduc ing herself to indigence in this way, "What does it matter?" the answered. " When I shall have nothing more, I will take my stick, aud I will go about beg ging alms for Napoleon's mother. " Meneval'a "Memoirs of Napoleon."

A Form of Open Air Ezerclaa That lias Certain Attractions of Its Own. "What ami going to do?" repeoted tho returned exila "Why, I'm going tc take a walk iu the rain. It's a trick I learned in 'ilenglaud, dear boy, ' and it's ono of the most charming forms of exercise on top of this green earth. You see my costume well, it's tho dead copy of that in which a Cornish squire of my acquaintance used to walk in rainy weather over the downs that make np most of his estate. My laced shoes, you perceive, come well ap tho anklo, have heavy cork soles and havo just been treated to a good rubbing iu of cold cream.

That would destroy tho very spirit, tho very joy, of tho experience, which is to feel tbo rain boating iu your faco, tho wet wind whistling about your cars and tho weather bunging you about general ly. You may not like it nt first, but yon soon will, and then you'll find there's a sort of wild joy nbout the thing that yon can't resist "Catch cold? Wb7, of course not In fact, a course of walking in the rain is one of the best preventives against tak ing cold. So long as you're moving briskly there's no danger of taking cold, no matter bow wet it may be. It's the standing or sitting in wet things that'a so dangerous, and so yon must just walk from the time yon leave the house until yon get back, and then, when yon do get book, strip off everything and give yourself a good rub. And if as yon pnt on your dry things yon do not feel a new man with a new cest for the strug gle of life then I don't know a banana from an express wagon." New York Son. A Wonderful Mirage.
